A research study by USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences concluded that the concentration and volume of mercury present in Alaska’s Yukon River Basin is unusually high (see here).
The researchers contend that these high values were caused by the rapid melting of icy permafrost accumulations present along the Yukon River that are rich in mercury. They are certain that the rapid melting was caused by the dramatic increase in atmospheric temperature related to climate change.
The study’s scientists say that as our planet continues to rapidly and unnaturally warm due to climate change, it will melt massive accumulations of icy permafrost and other types of ice that are rich in mercury present in the Arctic.
Eventually, the continued release of large amounts of mercury into the Arctic could irreversibly damage or destroy the Arctic’s biological and physical environments. They have nicknamed this impending disaster the “Mercury Bomb”.
